I think its a great idea, and as a departure point i cant think of anything better (however bias that may be
) Although granted a trip to another airfield across Europe would be better still, beggars cant be choosers and if this is the last chance to get on this aircraft (would be my first trip on an A300) then so be it.
I also would love a tour of the new hangar and can understand why they want to show it off.... Its quite an impressive looking building.
